The Soon Tryathlon offers short-distance triathlons in Soon, including adult Sprint and Supersprint races and a children’s triathlon for ages 9 to 12. The Sprint race, for ages 16 and up, involves 500 metres of swimming, 23 kilometres by bike, and a 5 kilometre run. The Supersprint, also for ages 16 and up, consists of 375 metres of swimming, 13 kilometres of cycling, and a 2.5 kilometre run, making it suitable for those new to the sport.
The adult bike courses utilize open roads without drafting, requiring participants to follow traffic rules and manage their own pace. Supersprint competitors may use any bicycle they own, excluding time-trial bikes, to maintain an accessible entry level. The children’s race is designed for swimmers aged 9 to 12, attracting many returning participants annually. Younger swimmers can be accompanied by a parent in the water, with safety personnel in kayaks and divers overseeing the swim.
